Texas High School Basketball Team Displays Incredible Sportsmanship

Two compassionate high school basketball players did something so unusual, it may be a first… but it really is the definition of sportsmanship.

They played on a team from a private school in Waco, Texas. They knew ahead of time that their opponents, the Gainesville Tornadoes, would have no one cheering for them — and virtually empty stands on their side of the gym – because they would there on release from a juvenile detention facility.

The two players from Vanguard College Prep – Hudson Bradley and Ben Martinson – asked their fans for a favor: To cheer for Gainesville instead.

Half the crowd was assigned to cheer for The Tornadoes. But as the game went on, everybody started to cheer for Gainesville.
